| internal pterygoid muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, pterygoid fossa of sphenoid and tuberosity of maxilla; insertion, medial surface of mandible between angle and mylohyoid groove; action, elevates mandible closing jaw; nerve supply, nerve to medial pterygoid from mandibular division of trigeminal. Synonym: musculus pterygoideus medialis, internal pterygoid muscle, musculus pterygoideus internus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| external pterygoid muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, inferior head from lateral lamina of pterygoid process; superior head from infratemporal crest and adjacent greater wing of the sphenoid; insertion, into pterygoid pit of mandible and articular disk; action, brings jaw forward, opens jaw; nerve supply, nerve to lateral pterygoid from mandibular division of trigeminal. Synonym: musculus pterygoideus lateralis, external pterygoid muscle, musculus pterygoideus externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral plate of pterygoid process | The larger and more lateral of the two bony plates extending downward from the point of union of the body and greater wing of the sphenoid bone on either side; forms medial wall of intfratemporal fossa and gives origin to pterygoi muscles. Synonym: lamina lateralis processus pterygoidei, lateral plate of pterygoid process. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: lamina lateralis processus pterygoidei, lateral plate of pterygoid process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| batson venous plexus | <radiology> Paravertebral venous plexus, can carry tumour emboli directly to brain from pelvis or abdomen (12 Dec 1998) |
| vaginal venous plexus | The plexus of veins that surrounds the vagina. Synonym: plexus venosus vaginalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the veins. Origin: L. Venosus (18 Nov 1997) |
| venous angioma | <radiology> Caput medusae, wedge-shaped appearance with its base at the meninges and its apex directed toward the ventricles, prominent medullary vein drains into a markedly enlarged transcortical cerebral vein, angiogram: normal arterial phase without AV shunting (12 Dec 1998) |
| venous angle | The junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins, toward which converge the external and the anterior jugular and the vertebral veins, the thoracic duct in the left angle and the right lymphatic duct in the right angle. Synonym: Pirogoff's angle. In neuroradiology, the angle of union of the superior thalamostriate vein (vena terminalis) with the internal cerebral vein, usually closely behind the interventricular foramen of Monro. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous artery | Origin, right ventricle of heart; distribution, it divides into the right pulmonary artery and the left pulmonary artery, which enter the corresponding lungs and branch along with the segmental bronchi. Synonym: truncus pulmonalis, arteria pulmonalis, pulmonary artery, venous artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous blood | Blood which has passed through the capillaries of various tissues, except the lungs, and is found in the veins, the right chambers of the heart, and the pulmonary arteries; it is usually dark red as a result of a lower content of oxygen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous capillary | A capillary opening into a venule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| venous circle of mammary gland | areolar venous plexus |
| venous congestion | <physiology> Overfilling and distention of the veins with blood as a result of mechanical obstruction or right ventricular failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
